Cantharophily

the cross-pollination of flowers by beetles that feed on the pollen or on some of the juicy tissues of the flower. Special suitability for cantharophily is generally not ob-served among flowers and beetles. Full, or true, cantharophily is inherent in only a few plants (for example, cycads and calycanths).
